Village employees Eli Sexton and Cheryl Geer install 28 hanging baskets of vining petunias on light poles along Main Street on Wednesday.
By fall, the baskets will be dripping with color with varieties named fuchsia, bubblegum and silverberry.
The show will extend from the United Methodist Church south to College Avenue.
